Hi, Paul.

PE> FM> One hundred, if you don't count when your line is busy or rings out.
PE> IOW
PE> FM> if I get connected the call completes.

From memory there were several time-outs (I picked up the phone and your
number was ringing), at least one busy, then the connect. Would you like
me to set up Telix to keep a log? IOW is this a significant enough
problem, and would doing so help resolve it?

Regards, FIM.
